AGC Georgia Names Brian Keaton as 2019 Leadership Award Winner

Choate Construction Superintendent Brian Keaton received the prestigious Safety Leadership Award from AGC Georgia recently. In addition, 686 individual superintendents and foremen with no loss-time accidents or recordables from around the state received the Ron Amerson Supervisors’ Safety Award.

As
the statewide chapter of AGC of America, AGC Georgia has been traveling around
the state to recognize each of these individuals for their dedication to safety.
Cities hosting ceremonies include Albany, Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Commerce,
Macon, Savannah and Valdosta.

The
Safety Leadership Award is presented annually to one field supervisor who
manages their project sites with no loss-time accidents or recordables, and
demonstrates commitment to:

Providing a Safe Work Environment

Uncompromising Leadership

Building a Safety Culture

Caring for and Respecting Fellow Workers

“A
construction firm is accident-free because of how well a field supervisor
manages their jobsite,” said Mike Dunham, CEO of AGC Georgia. “We congratulate
Brian Keaton and his work with Choate Construction to bring even greater
awareness to the vital role field supervisors play in the commercial
construction industry.”

A
30-year veteran of the construction industry, including over a decade of
experience with Choate Construction Company, Keaton has adapted the firm’s
OneLife culture and implements it each day on and off the job.

The
Ron Amerson Supervisors’ Safety Awards program is designed to recognize AGC
Georgia members’ supervisors for outstanding contributions to safety on their
jobsites. Only those supervisors who show a commitment to outstanding safety
are eligible.

“As
an industry, it’s inspiring to see nearly 700 members earn this distinct
recognition,” said Dunham. “This means firms are demonstrating their continued
commitment to safety on the jobsite.”
